Maak kennis met Rocky

European Shorthair · Male

I am Rocky, a large tomcat! I used to live in a small apartment but it didn't suit me well. So I'm looking for a house where I can go outside from now on. I love attention but I can also get frustrated if it takes too long or if it doesn't go my way. Furthermore, I am very athletic and jump up everywhere with ease. No cabinet is too high for me!

NL·Show original

Ik ben grote kater Rocky! Vroeger woonde ik in een klein appartementje maar dat beviel me niet zo. Ik zoek dus een huisje waar ik in het vervolg ook naar buiten kan. Aandacht vind ik heerlijk maar ik kan ook gefrustreerd raken als het te lang. duurt, of als het niet op mijn manier gaat. Verder ben ik heel atletisch en spring ik met gemak overal op. Geen kast voor mij te hoog!

About Maak kennis met Rocky

What life with Maak kennis met Rocky looks like

Maak kennis met Rocky is a small adult european shorthair cat waiting at DOA Dierenasiel Amsterdam in Amsterdam.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇳🇱Adopting from Netherlands

Frequently asked

Adopting Maak kennis met Rocky, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Maak kennis met Rocky?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. DOA Dierenasiel Amsterdam handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Maak kennis met Rocky on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Maak kennis met Rocky if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — DOA Dierenasiel Amsterdam will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Maak kennis met Rocky already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Maak kennis met Rocky isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with DOA Dierenasiel Amsterdam early rather than rehoming privately; they know Maak kennis met Rocky and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (NL). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
